Aniversary Wishes

Hi Marchers!! Things have been very hectic in Mikeworld lately and I haven't had much time to post. I have been checking in and reading the posts on this board, however. I would love to answer each and every aniversary post that shows up on the board because you folks all mean a great deal to me. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time right now to do so. What I will do instead is issue in this post a blanket "Best Wishes and Congratulations" to all of you Marchers out there on your aniversaries. Even though I'm not posting much lately, I think about you people all of the time and am so grateful to have found you all!! I plan on posting on my own aniversary date to update you on my situation. Until then, just know that you are all in my thoughts and I hope that year 3 brings nothing but good things for all of you. Take care and stay well my March friends and hold on to something, because there's a big old "Cyber Hug" coming at you!!! HAPPY ANIVERSARY, MARCHERS!!!!!!! Mike

Thanks Mike , I wish the same for you! My anniversary is the 22nd of March, and even though I am not a size 10 or even close to it, I am not a size 48 anymore, I am a size 18-20 1x in pants/shirts I am still holding this same weight from last summer, this summer I plan on making it "me time" and doing things for me!!!! I am thankful for my health, I am thankful for no more Diabetis, no more Insuline shots 3-4x a day! Most of all I am thankful I can still walk 4 miles, and run around with my children! God Bless all the Marchers, lets focus on all we have accomplished this far, not all we didnt, because we all have come a long way , and started at different weights, I myself was almost 400 pounds when my journey started. I know due to issues in my personal life the stress involved it had me down, way down to the point I wasnt thinking of myself, or even trying to eat right or thinking of my health! Depression had set in, not clinical ...lol Things will be much better for me the end of May, when all the "Drama" in my Life finally goes away ...far away! Then hopefully I can concentrate on getting these 2 lg. hernias repaired and I wont look like I am pregnant anymore. hahahaha! For all who believe have a Blessed Lenten, and a Blessed Easter! God Bless everyone! Mary

Mike, I know you are terribly busy and it is so good to hear from you. I confess I am worried that we are losing our connection because of the frantic pace of our lives. Let me just say this: I hope I'm wrong; and I need you as much now as I did the day I met you. Little did I know on March 8, 2004 the important role you would play in my recovery and in dealing with the multi-faceted, complex ramifications of this surgery. Thanks for always being there. I hope to see you Tuesday at the SG meeting. Maureen
